Did you have to dissect animals in school?

Question

I'm just watching the Jeffrey Dahmer serie on Netflix and there was this scene where they had that in class and yeah... I never had to do that in school... what about you? Is this really a thing? Or just a movie thing lol

When I was in school we dissected the following:

Baby/fetal pigs

Cow tounge

Cow brain

Cow eyeball

Lizard

Worms

Racoons

Cow hearts

Frogs

Pigs

Fish

Snakes

Did I enjoy it, well yes and no. Funny story but a classmate of mine for $5 ate one of the cow eyeballs. His mom was not so pleased, the human anatomy teacher gave him detention for doing such. It's a good thing he's still alive but he was happy to receive his $5😑😐.

I’m guessing you never had to do it because you never took biology in your final years of high school? I took university prep bio for grade 11 and 12, had to dissect earthworms, pig hearts, and frogs during that time.

MarkRet · Accepted Answer

Yeah, a worm and a frog. They had us in teams of two, and I had to do all the nasty shit because my partner was always too much of a puss to do it. After class was over some of the asshole guys would stick the frog parts in the drinking fountains or down the backs of other kid's shirts.

Yes and and we dissected a bird or some sort of bird. It didn't make me turn into a cannibal or have a thirst to kill.

If Jeffrey was smart instead of eating organs he could have sold them to the black market. If I was batshut crazy I would become an organ snatcher & profit from it.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

We did it in my skool. It was pretty gross and kind of sad. They farm those things just to kill them for those classes. I guess there are models now that simulate specific biologies, and programs that can do the same. So kids shouldn’t have to participate in that kind of nonsense.

AviatorTom · Answer

When I was in high school many years ago, yes, we dissected animals. I recall dissecting a frog, an earthworm, and a cow's eye. Since then, animal rights activists have won, and today, kids just watch a video on dissection or do a virtual dissection on an app.

humanearth · Answer

Yes in high school we did rats and frogs.

Oh yeah, I used to live in Milwaukee as well. I even worked on Jeffry Dahmer's Apartment buildings when he lived there.

Who knows I might have said hi to him and didn't know he was a killer

AsaKyo · Answer

When I was in 5th grade, we went on a Science field trip and had to dissect a frog, but I don't think I participated in that.

When I was in 6th or 7th grade, my weird ass Science teacher thought it was a cool idea to bring in a smelly, dead pig and dissect that and I was like, "God wtf" and I didn't participate in that either. I just don't like the idea of teetering with the dead.

Insaniacthemaniac · Answer

It is absolutely a real thing yes, to learn about the fundimentals of biology you must learn about anatomy. Which is why you dysect frogs.

Kori1236 · Answer

We did frogs, fetal pigs and starfish and others I can’t recall. It was cool to see how everything worked. Groups of 4 though so frog, pig and starfish were the ones that I did while the others were done by other group members

Nintendo-64 · Answer

We have done that in school back in the day. My school had a huge laboratory with frozen snakes, cows, insects and frogs inside of it but I went to a private school. I dont think public schools in my country do that.

Pinay_ako · Answer

Yes a live frog. It made me sad and sick to my stomach why we had to do it. I cried at home 🏡 in my room… I was only 11yo.

sunflower00 · Answer

Our class dissected a heart (I think it was a pig’s heart) but me and two other girls sat out because we didn’t want to do it

Kaneki05 · Answer

Think they used to do that. But I don't know I never did it. We just got a already long dead sheep heart to poke at.

bolverk · Answer

No, I live in the UK and in our schools dissection is rarely done and I did not take Biology, I took Chemistry & Physics as I was heading for a career in engineering.

Dinosaursandanime65 · Answer

I hope I don’t have to. Who cares if it’s for learning. That’s like Montresor trying to justify him murdering Fortunato because he said some mean words. Probably not even cuss words either 💀💀🐊🐉🦖💀

TallAnon · Answer

We dissected the heart of some kind of animal, don't remember which one.
I grew up on the countryside, we'd sometimes get cow hearts to feed to the dogs, so I was pretty desensitized to those kind of things.
